Cary Grant Was Almost Run Over By A 1947 S-11

[Bingster]

I just watched "The Bishop's Wife," a great Christmas movie with Cary Grant and David Niven, Loretta Young.  It was full of Desoto S-11's, mainly taxis but one scene where Cary was helping a blind man across the street and a black S-11 (like mine BTW) screeches to a halt, barely missing them.  It was interesting because the S-ll has a type of white wall surrounding the hub cap.

 

There is also a nice view of the dash when they're inside a taxi.  Oh, Cary is an angel in this one, and my favorite role of his.

 

 

Merry Christmas

to Everyone

On the Board!

White rings instead of whitewalls. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear.  (My dad in his new Suburban, circa 1947:)

I thought that this was going to be a song about almost being runover by a reindeer.

that was grandma's alibi for a night out on the town...
